Pros

Excellent pay, you don't have to serve people food, if you're in to consumer electronics it can be interesting sometimes, customers are usually nicer to you than they would be elsewhere. You get discounts on a lot of third party products that apple sells, and if you take more than just a seasonal job you also get discounts on apple products themselves. Having just a high base rate of pay rather than working on commission makes for a low pressure sales environment in which you can just be honest with the customer (most of the time).

Cons

A lot of standing, a lot of walking, constant pressure from managers to make high sales even though there is no commission.

Pros

The quality of life factor. Yes they don't pay as much as they should but man is it a blast to see a persons face when you show them dashboard to iPhoto and they light up like a candle.

Cons

Promotions are almost non-existent and even when they do come you have to fight tooth and nail for it. I've heard horror stories of my friends who trained a new comer and then that new comer took the full time job he was inline for! Promotions from inside the company are almost a joke.

Feeling stuck and oppressed

Pros

My current position permits me to have a very flexible schedule, I basically set my own work schedule. It's nice having access to the latest gear from Apple as well as the myriad of software. My immediate management is excellent. Benefits and salary are good.

Cons

Working out of a home office can make you feel isolated. I also don't have a lot of opportunities to expand my professional network within the company, making professional advancement outside of my division next to impossible. To move up in my career path would require far more travel, which seems absolutely backwards. Our Marketing department is absurdly oppressive, I often feel that creativity is sought only from Engineering and Product Marketing while conformity is dictatorially and unkindly mandated elsewhere.
